Adobe Creative Suit

Submitted by Joe Wilson on

Adobe's Creative Suit includes Photoshop (image editing,) Illustrator (vector editing,) Premier Pro (video editing,) After Effects (motion graphics and video effects,) Audition (audio editing,) Indesign (page layout and multipage document publishing,) and a bunch more. While free alternatives are available for many of these and are widely used at MakeHaven, there is something to be said for using "the industry standard" software which may be more feature rich and capable.

I realize that this isn't something that we can "buy" but I look at all the items on the wish list, everything from bar clamps to laser welding machines, and I think "where are we going to to put all this stuff?
My wish list is stuff like a lockers where we can put laptops and personal items while we're in the space working.

Green Sweep

Submitted by John Hatch on

GreenSweep is a sweeping compound that can be sprinkled on a dusty shop floor, (see metal shop), and will then allow the inhabitants to sweep the area without raising a ton of dust in the air. It doesn't have to be used every time, but then nobody seems to be sweeping with any regularity.
A 50 pound box costs about $30.
While we're at it, are there any good brooms around? Where?
